Default Giordano in trouble!
@TSNBobMcKenzie: Unusual one: NHL will hold disciplinary tomorrow for CGY's Mark Giordano slew foot yesterday vs DAL but Giordano playing tonite in PHX.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: I think we can safely deduce Giordano is going to be, at most, fined, not suspended. If suspension was possible, wouldn't be playing tonite.

What slew foot?

Yup. Giordano took that hit and then played like a moron for most of the game.

happened in the 3rd period. Giordano got 2 minutes for tripping on the play against Roussel. Looked borderline dirty to me, but more than anything else it was just a dumb, unnecessary play by Gio.

that's a slew foot? I thought 2 mins for tripping was more than enough..

They could show that play in ref training school as the definition of a slew foot.

well he didn't trip him with the stick, but with his foot IIRC ... so yeah, for me it was a slew foot. I don't think it's necessarily a play to get suspended for, but I'm not really surprised if he gets a fine.

Cheap play, blatant penalty. Not really sure what he was thinking.

No way that is a suspension. I thought it was fairly tame and the 2 minute penalty was reasonable

He definitely deserves supplementary punishment. It really looked like he was upset and took it out on the Stars in a pretty risky manner.

From how I recall it, it was definitely enough for a penalty. I didn't think it was enough for a suspension or a fine. I don't think it looked like intent to injure or anything, probably just Gio trying to gain an edge and get position... at least from how I remember it.

Suspending him a game would be a good wake up call for Gio. Unless Hartley puts the Butlersoft pairing together again.

For those of us that didn't see it:

Looks dangerous to me, he should probably get a game.

To be honest, I'd like to see a few more "dirty" plays from him. Just not doing a whole lot out there. If he's not going to put up the points he should at least be running a few guys through the glass.
